This is a really fun penny dreadful starring Lon Chaney and Joan Crawford. Great visuals and performances.

Damn... That's a full movie post. I am shocked. I was sitting here for almost ten minutes, thinking to myself, when this gif is going to end. I loved it.

One more good thing about silents is that most are in the public domain. this is one of my favorites.

I am done watching. This was an unexpected ride, the ending was... nerve-wracking to say the least. I really thought they would do some kind of practical special effect for the rip or that Alonzo would give up at the last second.

I’m glad you watched it, it’s a great flick. It’s a fun little thriller and Lon Chaney gives an iconic performance. At least it would be iconic, if anyone had heard of it.

You had me a Joan Crawford and Lon Chaney! Thank you for this

Find some good music to back it and enjoy! It’s a great movie.
